• 92 Ill. 372

Syllabus

<p>1. Injunction—allowance of claim by county board. A court of equity will not interfere by injunction with the action of a county board, in regard to the affairs entrusted to them by law, where no fraud or corruption is shown.</p> <p>2. Where a county board, not acting fraudulently or corruptly or by collusion, settles and adjusts a claim of a contractor for extra labor and work upon a foundation of a court house, caused by changes in the original plans, a court of equity will have no jurisdiction to enjoin the payment of the sum thus allowed.</p> <p>3. If a county board should undertake to appropriate the money of the , county for a purpose not authorized by law, a tax-payer may doubtless have the same prevented by bill in equity for an injunction.</p>
